General principles of preparation

Today we are preparing various hedgehogs from the most various ingredients as far as you can understand. But the most important component, perhaps, will be minced meat.

You can choose absolutely any stuffing in the market or in the store, but you also need to do it correctly. Nobody wants to eat dishes made from spoiled, missing meat, right?

To begin with, remember that the earlier you go shopping, the more likely you are to find fresh goods, be it a specialty store or a market;
The next item is appearance. First of all, whatever one may say, you will appreciate minced meat in this way. If the surface is windy, it means that the minced meat has been on the counter for more than an hour, or even a day. If covered with a dry crust, then rather, the second option;
If the minced meat surface is gray, and the seller demonstrates that everything is fine inside, because there is a bright red color, then do not trust this person. If the minced meat has already turned gray, it is clearly not fresh;
Next, consider the color of the meat. If this minced chicken- should be a pale pink color, if beef - burgundy, if pork - pink. Any minced meat should have white blotches - fat;
The next moment is the counter. Pay attention to what the product is in. If there is a pool of blood under the meat, don't buy it. If you don't have any, don't buy either. This means that tendons and cartilage are added to the stuffing, from which nothing simply can stand out. The color of the puddle also cannot be dark and cloudy;
The surface of the minced meat should also not be slippery, because the next step is to change the color to gray. Accordingly, this product is already spoiling;
Ask the seller for a bag with a small amount of minced meat. To begin with, grind it to understand how uniform the consistency is. The mass should be soft, without hard pieces;
Then you can smell the same stuffing. There should be a light, pleasant aroma of meat. If you smell the aroma of spices, the manufacturer in this way tried to hide the rotten smell of the product.

Now you already know how to choose the right main ingredient for today's dish. Head to the store for the rest of the grocery list and you can start cooking.

If you are afraid that your meat balls anyway fall apart at the end of cooking, we advise you to add to the mass raw potatoes. To do this, you just need to peel the potatoes, wash off the sand and grate the tuber on a fine grater. Add it to the mass for hedgehogs and mix well;

If you still have hedgehogs, and you decide not to remove them, but leave them in a slow cooker, then be sure to cover them with a lid. This is necessary only because rice tends to quickly dry out and harden in the open air. After heating, it will already crunch on your teeth if you do not have time to cover it;
You will get the most delicious hedgehogs if you use the stew program on your slow cooker;
If you do not have enough variety in dishes, then you can prepare a special sauce. And sour cream and tomato at the same time. Just mix them together and get a new, unusual sauce;
The smaller your hedgehogs are, the lighter, more tender their taste will be. And, accordingly, the more balls you will have and they will last for a longer time;
So that you do not interfere with cabbage in balls, chop it as little as possible. This also applies to mushrooms. The less you chop the food, the easier it will be to collect them into balls.

One of these dishes is steamed hedgehog meatballs. They are so harmless that they are great for a children's menu.

If your child is already eating rice porridge and lean meat - try giving him such meatballs!

Ingredients:

Beef - 1 kg
Onions - 1-2 pcs.
Rice round - 1 tbsp.
Salt - to taste
Egg - 2 pcs.
Refined vegetable oil (for lubricating the steamer grates)

Meatballs hedgehogs with steamed rice for children - recipe with photo:

1. For the same recipe, you can take other meat - the main thing is that it is lean (not pork or lamb). For a children's diet, veal, turkey or chicken is well suited. So, first you need to rinse the meat and blot it with a napkin so that there is no excess liquid. Then put it on the board and cut into pieces about 3 cm in size.

2. Move the pieces of meat to food processor or a meat grinder and turn into minced meat. We, in turn, transfer it to a large bowl.

3. We clean the onion and rub it on the smallest grater to get onion gruel. The smallest grater is a surface dotted with holes with sharp edges. It is when using such a grater that the desired substance is obtained. Add the onion paste to the mince.

4. Put raw rice in the minced meat and mix with your hands until it spreads evenly throughout the minced meat. Some housewives put boiled rice (or half-cooked) in meatballs, but for hedgehogs, raw rice is required. In minced meat, raw rice will look organic, and when the meatballs are cooked, this cereal will swell and create cute “thorns” of hedgehogs.

5. Break two eggs and add them to the minced meat. Again, mix everything well with your hands. Salt the meatball mixture. We prepare meatballs for children, so nothing will be added except salt. Well, if you want to turn this dish into a treat for adults, you can add pepper or other seasonings to taste.

6. Lubricate the grills of the double boiler with vegetable oil, so that later it will be easier to separate the meatballs. Then we form balls with a diameter of 5 cm from the minced meat and put it on the steamer grate. We have a lot of minced meat, so you can cook two or even three floors of a double boiler. At the same time, extra meatballs can be frozen for the future.

7. Cover the steamer with a lid and turn on the timer for 40 minutes. During this time, the meat will have time to cook, and the rice will release hedgehog "thorns".

Chicken fillet - 2 pcs.;
Onion - 1 pc.;
Chicken egg - 1 pc.
Round-grain rice - 150 g;
A bunch of fresh herbs;

Delicious, mouth-watering hedgehogs with rice, for children, I cooked this time. And she didn't let me down. The hedgehogs turned out juicy, but not greasy, as is necessary for baby food.

Hedgehogs with rice in a steamed multicooker - recipe with photo:

1. Cooking products for hedgehogs: minced meat twisted twice in a meat grinder (on a fine grill), one onion, one egg, a slightly incomplete multi-glass of well-washed rice. Salt and black pepper.

2. Add all the ingredients to a large bowl, after mashing the onion with a blender. Be sure to add salt and black pepper.

3. Mix everything to get a homogeneous stuffing.

4. Pour 1 - 1.5 liters of water into the multicooker pan and install a grate for steaming dishes. We will form small-sized koloboks, immediately laying them out in a slow cooker.

From this amount of minced meat, about 30 small hedgehogs are obtained. Half is placed in the multicooker at a time. The other half can be frozen in the freezer. And next time, all that remains is to put them in the slow cooker and set the desired mode.

5. I have a Polaris 0517 multicooker, but any multicooker has a “steam” function. Set the program mode "Steam", cooking time 1 hour. The countdown will not start immediately, but only after the water boils, so the total cooking time will be approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. But now you can safely move on to other household chores, the multicooker will turn itself off at the right time and go into heating mode.
